Here are the last few instructions prior to the failure on the failing version, thanks to the CP TRACE facility under z/VM on a real IBM z/890:

And on we go from there. The BRU instruction in the first sequence is clearly bad. In assembler language format, the equivalent instruction would be "BRU *+2". This is a bad branch. The instruction branches into the middle of itself, picking up "0001" as the next machine instruction, which causes an operation exception. Since the failing "instruction" starts at storage address 32EC, and is two bytes long, that means that the updated instruction address in the PSW at the time of the program interruption will be 32EE, which is the value used in the disabled wait PSW. -- .''`.
